Leap of Faith; Ignorance is Bliss (cult kidnapping missions) in Far Cry 5 Far Cry 5 Guide and Walkthrough
Last update: 06 April 2018
Leap of Faith and Ignorance is Bliss missions become available after you sufficiently weaken the cult in Henbane River. During the first kidnapping your character gets stunned with Bliss and has hallucinations. You can't defend yourself from the first encounter with Faith (don't worry - this is a mandatory story mission) but the rest of the kidnappings won't happen so suddenly.
Leap of Faith
The Leap of Faith task will automatically become active when you sufficiently weaken the Cult in the Henbane River region of Far Cry 5. The hero will be hallucinated and drugged by Faith. You cannot protect yourself from being kidnapped by the Cult. Don't worry, because this is a top-down plotted mission and not a result of making some mistakes. For more details, see the solution below.
You will find out that you are on the Faith's target, when the game displays a message that you have been "blessed" (an example of such a message is presented in the attached screenshot). Shortly after it is displayed, the main character will be intoxicated and hallucinated while traveling freely through the Henbane River region.
The mission itself is very short and simple. After watching all the cut-scenes and listening to Faith's speech, approach the edge and make the title leap of faith. The mission will come to an end after a short while. This is not the last meeting with Faith. The next one will happen again after you significantly weaken the influence of the Cultists in this area of the game world.
The second encounter with Faith
The encounter with Faith, described above, was just the first out of a few planed encounters. You can meet Faith Seed while you are exploring the world. This becomes available after sufficiently weakening the cultists in Henbane River. Approach Faith and press the interaction button. This triggers a new hallucination. It doesn't feature any interactive moments. The resistance members from Hope County's prison will help you go back to the real world.
Ignorance is Bliss
This is the last unusual "encounter" with Faith which takes place before the final confrontation with her. The objective of this mission is to free the Marshal from Bliss (at least that is what you think you are doing).
This mission is unlocked after your second encounter with Faith which happens while you are exploring Henbane River. Approach Faith and press the interaction button. This starts a new hallucination.
The mission itself is very short. Watch the cut-scene depicting the conversation with the Marshal in a boat. After that you must move forward. Reach the Marshal who is currently under the influence of Bliss and hold the interaction button to stop him by performing a takedown. The game plays another cut-scene. After that you go back to the Hope County prison. You also receive Blissful trophy.
